Transforming an Elastic
Manufacturer for
International Growth

Shunyang is a Taiwanese elastic components manufacturer with over 20 years of production expertise. Despite strong product quality, their website failed to communicate credibility to international buyers — and was holding back their export growth.

Problem Statement

International buyers
judge credibility
in seconds.

Your website decides whether they stay or leave. For Shunyang, three structural problems were causing buyers to bounce before ever reaching the product pages.

Before
First Impression Failure
Hero Section

First Impression Failure

Unclear, technical messaging with no strong value proposition. International buyers landing on the homepage couldn't understand what Shunyang made, who it was for, or why they should stay.

Before
Credibility Gap
About / Trust Section

Credibility Gap

Limited proof and weak communication of expertise. Certifications, production capacity, and years of experience were either buried or absent — the exact signals international buyers look for before making contact.

Clarity & Structure Breakdown
Product Section

Clarity & Structure Breakdown

Fragmented and hard-to-scan content that creates confusion. Products were organised by internal logic rather than buyer intent, making it impossible for visitors to find what they needed quickly.

Key Insights

Clarity over complexity

Technical messaging hides the core value. Buyers don't want to decode — they want to understand immediately what Shunyang makes and why it's the right choice.

Weak first impression

No clear direction or immediate understanding. The homepage failed to anchor the visitor — no headline, no value proposition, no reason to scroll.

Poor structure

Content feels fragmented and hard to scan. Without a logical hierarchy, buyers couldn't move efficiently from interest to inquiry.

Missing trust signals

Lack of proof reduces confidence. Certifications, client references, and production data were absent — the exact elements that validate a supplier before first contact.

Personas

Evaluates suppliers based on credibility, product clarity, and production capability before making contact.
